About 7,000 more British women may be affected by the recent PIP implant scandal according to the government.

Tests suggest that thousands more women could have received the faulty implants than previously thought and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley is urging all women who received PIP implants before 2001 to see their GP.

'The French regulator has confirmed this week that more women may be affected by the criminal activity of the French breast implant manufacturer PIP,' says Mr Lansley.

'These women are the victims of a fraudulent company and I know this situation is causing a huge amount of anxiety.'

More than 40,000 women in the UK were already thought to have had PIP implants filled with industrial grade silicone, which is used in mattresses.
